Ramadan in Kampong Glam...

Description

For the fasting season of
Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, we’ve put together a very
special tour of the Royal Malay and Muslim enclave of Kampong Glam.

While Muslims fast from dawn to sundown during this period, in the later
afternoon the area comes alive with food stalls of every type of halal food
imaginable. In addition to experiencing the joy and vibrancy of this time of the year, this will also be the opportunity to:

Learn how pilgrims prepare for the once-in-lifetime
Hajj,

Listen to tales of royal palaces, mosques and gardens,

See
drapes of lush fabrics and Malay kebayas, glittering gemstones and crystals,

Smell
decadent perfumes and frankincense,

Play traditional games such as 5-stones.

The tour will end with a typical communal meal of rice and
curries where you will learn how to eat with your hands - truly a feast
for all your senses.
